  • Looks like the SDLPROJ file is damaged. If you do not have a backup, please simply recreate the project using the TM from the damaged one. If you do not have a TM, please recreate the project, use a desired TM for it and import the translated file(s) from the damaged project there.
    Should there be any unconfirmed translations in the files from the damaged project, open the files with Studio separately, confirm translations and proceed as above.
